Vejvanovský: Vesperae Sancti Venceslai

Musica Florea, Štryncl, Marek

SU 3535-2

We publish hitherto unknown spiritual music from the Kromeriz archive. Its author is the famous Czech baroque composer Pavel Josef Vejvanovsky (c1640-1693), who in 1670 was the leader of the castle band of Olomouc bishop Lichtenstein-Kastelkorn in Kromeriz. For his time, the highly educated, prolific, multifaceted and stylistically progressive composer makes extensive use of effective instruments, especially trumpets, and the enthrallingly colorful and transparently clean boys' choir plays an essential part in the recording. The album is full of contrasts - structured vocal-instrumental music is interspersed with strident ascetic antiphons, giving the recording a mystical religious tone. In addition to the proven soloists and the already mentioned choir, the first-class artistic quality and historically informed stylistic concepts were provided by the Musica florea ensemble with artistic director and conductor Mark Stryncl.
